Okay everybody. 
This is the Duke speaking. 
I'm going to show you how to jive now, 
'Cause I'm the king of the jive! 

Been working all day trying to earn some money, 
'Cause it's Friday night, going to dance with Buddy, 
Hair greased back got my tight pants on, 
Going down town dance all night long. 

Kids are rocking through the night, 
The jukebox shaking what a sight, 
When I get there I'll set the place alight, 
'Cause I'm the king of the jive. 

Put your left foot back swing your baby round, 
Loop the loop what a crazy sound, 
Getting hot so you loosen your tie, 
You can't stop now ''cause you're the king of the jive. 

Kids are rocking through the night, 
The jukebox shaking what a sight, 
When I get there I'll set the place alight, 
'Cause I'm the king of the jive. 

Sweating now just a little bit, 
Swing your baby round for a double twist, 
Can't stop now too much to lose, 
You dance all night in your blue suede shoes. 

Kids are rocking through the night, 
The jukebox shaking what a sight, 
When I get there I'll set the place alight, 
'Cause I'm the king of the jive. 
 
Okay kids. 
Are watching me. 
I'm the Duke - I'm going to teach you how to jive!
